State tax filing

Yes, that is correct. If you do not have sourced income from New York, enter an allocation of $0 or 0% and you will get a full refund of taxes paid. 

 

However, please keep in mind the following NYS guidelines for sourced income:

  • Per NYS, if you are a nonresident whose primary office is in New York State, your days' telecommuting are also considered days worked in NY state unless your employer has established a bona fide employer office at your telecommuting location in Texas. There are a number of factors that determine whether your employer has established a bona fide employer office at your telecommuting location. In general, unless your employer specifically acted to establish a bona fide employer office at your telecommuting location, you will continue to owe New York State income tax on income earned while telecommuting. 
  • In addition, under the New York “convenience of the employer” rule, the wages of an individual who is a resident of a state other than New York but who works for a New York-based employer, are considered to constitute New York source income unless, out of necessity, the employee is obligated to work outside of the state.
